By a Fxr.Low of Magdalen College, Oxford. " Haling lived between three and four months in Paris, and between three and four years in the south of France with my family, I have made observations, which I hope may he usefid to those who have the same tplan of foreign residence or travel, and not less interesting, both to them, and to those who are con tent with their English Home, than the remarks of a mere hasty tourist. The care of a household, and of the education of children, brings the bead of a family to the knowledge of many circumstances and combinations which escape the notice of the single traveller ; and intercourse with the society of a place during a sojourn, gives some insight into the character, some perception of the manners and opinions. of a people."—lntro duction.

" Count Segur has acted various and important parts in the public Affairs of France, during the eventful period of the last half century, and his character and talents must have been long known to the principal diplomatic and military personages of the Con tinent, as well as to the higher Statesmen and public functionaries of Great Britain. From the magnitude of the affairs in which the Count has been engaged, and from the rank of the characters with whom he has come in collision, the Memoirs of his Life ne cessarily assume the features of a history of the era in which he flourished. The Work before us is, consequently, as replete with information as it is with amusement, whilst it throws a consider able light, and often gives a new complexion to the public Events which have most interested the present, and will intensely interest all future ages."—Morning Chronicle.

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 18'26. LITERATURE. BOSWELL REDIVIVUS. (From the New Monthly Magazine for October.) I inquired if he remembered much of Johnson, Burke, and that set? He said, " Yes, s good deal, as he had often seen them. Burke came into Sir Joshua's painting room one day, when who was then a young man, wa s sitting for one of the children in Count IJgolino. (It is the one iu profile with the hand to the face.) He was introduced as a pupil of Sir Joshua's, and on his looking up, Mr. Burke said, Then I see that Mr. N— is not only an artist, but has a head that would do for Titian to paint.' —Goldsmith and Burke had often violent disputes about politics ; the one being a staunch Tory, and the other at that time a Whig and outrageous anti-courtier. One day he came into the room, when Goldsmith was there, full of ire and abuse against the late king, and went on in such a torrent of the most unquali fied invective that Goldsmith threatened to leave the room. The other, however, persisted, and Goldsmith went out, unable to bear it any longer. So much for Mr. Burke's pretended consistency and uniform loyalty ! When N first came to Sir Joshua, he wished very much to see Goldsmith ;'"and one sky Sir Joshua, on introducing him, asked why he had been so anxious to see him ? Because, said N--, 'heis a notable • man.' This expres sion notable, in its ordinary sense, was so contrary to Goldsmith's character, that they both burst out a-laughing very heartily. Goldsmith was two thousand pounds in debt at the time of his death, which was hastened by his chagrin and distressed circum stances ; and when She stoops to Conquer' was performed, he was choked all dinner-time that he could not swallow a mouth ful. A party went from Sir Joshua's to support it. Tice present title was not fixed upon till that morning. N went with Ralph, Sir Joshua's man, into the gallery, to see how it went off ; and after the second act, there was no doubt of its success." N.-- says, people had a great idea of the li terary parties at Sir Joshua's. He once asked Lord Boring don to dine with Sir Joshua and the rest ; but though a men of rank and also of good information, he seemed as much alarmed at the idea as if you had tried to force him into one of the cages at Exeter-'Change. N-- remarked that he thought ,peolde of talents had their full share of admiration. He bad seen young ladie;s of quality, Lady Mary's and Lady Dorothy's, peeping into a room where Mrs. Siddons was sitting, with all the same timidity and curiosity as if it were some preternatural being—l am sure more than if it had been the queen. Ile then made some obser vations on the respect paid to rank, and said, " However ridicu lous it might seem, it was no more than the natural expression of the highest respect in other cases. For instance, as to that,of bowing out of the ,King's presence backwards, would you not do the stone if you were introduced to Dr. Johnson for the first time? You would contrive not to turn your back upon him, till you were out of the room." He said, " You violent politicians make more route about royalty than it is worth: it is only the highest place, and somebody must fill it, no matter who : neither do the persons themselves think so much of it as you do. They are glad to get into privet.), as much as they can. Nor is it a sinecure. The late King (I have - been told) used often to have to sign 'his name to papers, and do nothing else for three hours together, till his fingers fairly ached, and then he would take a walk in the garden, and come in to repeat Alm some drudgery for three hours more. So, when they told Louis XY. that if he went on with his extrava gance he would bring about a revolution, and be sent over to Eng lane with a pension, he merely asked, Do you think the pension would be a pretty good one?" He noticed the Memoir, of Car dinal de Retz, and praised them fur their extreme vivacity and great insight into human nature. Once when the mob had besieged the palace, and the Cardinal was obliged to go and appease them, a brick-bat was flung at him and knocked him down, and one of the assailants presenting a bayonet at his throat, he suddenly called out, " Oh, you wretch ! if your father could have seen you in this barbarous action, what would he have said ?" The man immediately withdrew, though, says the Cardinal, " I knew no more of his father than the babe unborn." then adverted to the talent of players for drollery and sud den shifts and expedients, and said tiles by living in an element of comic invention, they imbibed a pm-lion of it. He repeated that jest of Reynolds, who filled up the blanks in is militia !wiper that was sent him with the description, Old, lame, and a coward ;" and another story told of Matthews, the comedian, who being left in a room with an old gentleman and a little child, and the former putting the question to it, " Well, my dear, which do you like best, the dog or the cat ?" by exercising his powers of ventriloquism, 'mule the child !Seem to answer, " I don't ear* a damn for either,"-,-to the utter confusion of the old gentlentet, who immediately took the father to task for bringing ulif Ills son in such profaneness and total want of common humanity. Ile then returned to the question of the inconsistent and un reasonable expectations of mankind as to their success in diffe rent pursuits, and answered the common complaint, " What a shame it was that Milton only got thirteen pounds nine dia ling' and sixpence by Paradise Lost," He mid, " Not at all ; he did not write it to get money, he had gained what he proposed by writing it, not thirteen pounds nine shillings and sixpence, but an immortal reputation. When Dr. Johnson was asked why he was not invited out to dine as Garrick was, he answered as if it was a triumph to him, Because great lords and ladies don't like to have their mouths stopped !' But who does like to have their mouths stopped ? Did he, more thin others ? People like to he amused in general ; but they did not give him the leas credit for wisdom, and a capacity to instruct them by his writings. In like manner, it has been said, that the King only sought one interview with Dr. Johnson ; whereas, if be had been a buffoon or a sycophant, he would have asked for more. No, there was nothing to complain of : it was a compliment paid by rank to letters, and once was enough. The King was more afraid of this interview than Dr. Johnson was ; and went to it as a schoolboy to his task. But he did not want to have this trial repeated every day, nor was it ne cessary. The very jealousy of his self-love marked his respect : and if he had thought less of Dr. Johnson, he would have been more willing to risk the encounter. They had each their place to fill, and would best preserve their self-respect, and perhaps their respect for each other, by rernaieing in dick proper sphere. So they make an outcry about the Prince leaving Sheridan to die in absolute want. He had left him long before : was he to send every day to know if he was dying? These things cannot he helped, without exacting too much of human nature." I agreed to this view of the subject, and said,—" I did not see why literary people should repine if they met with their desert. in their own way, without expecting to get rich ; but that they often got nothing for their pains but unmerited abuse and party ohloquy."—" Oh, it is not party spite," said h e , " b u t t h e env yof human nature.-- Do you think to distinguish yourself with impunity? Do you imagine that your superiority will be delightful to oth ers ? O r that they will not strive all they can, and to the last moment, to pull you down? I remember myself once saying to Opie, how hard it vas upon a poor author or player to be hunted down for not succeeding in an innocent and laudable attempt, just as if they had committed some heinous crime ! And he said,---' They have committed the greatest crime in the ey es o f mankird, that of pretending to a superiority over them I' Do you think that party abuse, and the running down particular authors, is any thing new ? Look at the manner in which Pope and Dryden were assailed by a set of reptiles. Do you believe the John Bull and Blackwood had not their prototypes in theparty.poblications of that day? Depend upon it, what you take for political cabal and hostility is (nine parts in ten) private pi que and mali ce nos ing threntik those authorized channels." We now got into a dispute about nicknames ; and H.--me coining in and sitting d own at my elbow, my old pugnacious habit seemed to return upon ins. contended, that they filadvoargcu'ealecowannsadYissgotaileraP7l7,tEei:ar:.vmhaniyvlii,,nlgeaiingadb;;4lL,nutllysanijontddr—ein:mh'uTyt I;aettihhree7mghiosovleet ins the name of Fat Jack,' but becatua I Was lean ?"

He advised him to take no notice of his persecutors. What,' he said, does it signify? Suppose they were to call me Tiddydoll said the man, you called me so your self; you only sent for me in to insult me !' and, after heaping every epithet of abuse upon him, flew out of the house in the most ungovernable passion." I told N-. this was just the thing I meant. Even if a name had confessedly no meaning, by applying it constantly, and by way of excellence to another, it seemed as if he must be an abstraction of insignificance: whereas, if it pointed to any positive defect, or specific charge, it was at least limited to the one, and you stood a chance of repelling the other. The virtue of a nickname consisted in its being indefinable and baffling all proof or reply. : 7 1, tp ik :(' 4 . 1.. .q ) f , . .. -Pt,''_;_-,,, .:;,-. , . r•- ,- :F , 2',• ,- -' Via. ,7 J: ~ , ~ " •-• *.; ....A ....., , ~, ....

On Monday, Mr. Curtis, Aurist to his Majestyl, com menced his interesting Course of Lectures on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology, of the Ear, at the Royal Dis pensary. for Diseases of the Ear,Dean-street, Soho-squFe. The Lecturer began by remarking the great improvements that had taken place of late years in medicine and surgery, and then observed that these improtements had not ex tended to one important branch, Acoustic Surgery. While the diseases of every other organ are well understood, as well as the modes of repairing their defects, which he in stanced in the imperfections of the eye, &c., the diseases of the Ear, from an unfortunate prejudice in this country, being adjudged incurable, have been little regarded by those afflicted: hence from this inattention have arisen the most serious consequences, often ending in affections of the head, not unfrequently producing incurable chronic disease, ter minating in death. The Lecturer also remarked, that Patients were often afraid of applying for relief, from the fear of being made worse; but he had the satisfaction to observe, that from the time he had been engaged in this exclusive line of prac tice he had given his advice and assistance to upwards of 10,000 applicants, not one of whom, who had followed his instructions, had ever complained; on the contrary, he had reason every day to be more and more satisfied that dis eases of the Ear, like diseases of other organs, will yield to proper treatment. Before leaving the Institution he related several singular cases of cure s, showed a great variety of Anatomical Pre parations, pointed out the extent of injury from neglected disease, and likewise exhibited several new Acoustic In struments from the Continent. " These eases will be found detailed by Mr. Curtis in his la" Treatise on the Physiology and Diseases of the Ear. DREADFUL CONFLICT AT SEA. Extract of a letter from Captain -, of the schooner Anna, to his sister in Aberdeen, dated Batavia, May 24, 1826 : " I arrived here on the 20th from Singapore, safe and nearly sound; and must give you some account of my own hand, and of the most treacherous and horrid scenes I have ever witnessed. I trust Providence, which protected me, will .steer me clear of such sights again. At Singapore, I agreed to take to Batavia seven Malay Hails, or Priests. I had also three European passengers. The former be haved very quietly until the night of the 2d of May (the third from Singapore) ; we were then 25 miles off the east end of Singapore, standing in for the land, with a light breeze, all hands asleep but myself, the man at the helm, and one !milting out forward. At half-past nine in the evening, while standing close by the man at the helm, I observed two of dm Malays running aft towards me, fu riously uttering something in Javanese. Instantly sus pecting their intention, I went forward to meet them; the chief made a blow at me with a kreese, which I received on my left wrist, and knocked down with my right hand. The second one stabbed me in my left hip. In codes- Vouring to reach the cabin I fell, when a scuffle ensued, in which I received several cuts on my left arm and hand, but got clear of them both, and got down to the cabin, followed by them. I instantly armed myself with a cut lass : a bloody scene now took place, too • horrible to de scribe; wounds on both sides were received. One of the European passengers soon came to my assistance. The mate and another of them also got into the cabin, the for mer wounded in the head and back. •In short, in three or four minutes all four of us were wounded more or less, but iO possession of the cabin and arms; and their chief a corpse beside us. They now commenced throwing down iron bolts, handspikes, and everything they could get hold of, which broke our la m p i n pi eces , an d l e f t us in the dark. The crew took to the rigging; three of them were stab bed. We were some time in getting our pistols loaded in the confusion • but to cut this h orr id story s h ort, four of them were killed, and the other three were driven over board wounded, after having possession of the poop two hours, and a half. At the end of this I was completely done up from the loss of blood; my boy succeeded in stopping the bleeding, but I was rather in a low state. for some days.

The advance realised on Rough Turpentine at the pub lic sales on Saturday last has been fully supported; on that day 700 barrels of fine quality brought frond the quay I Is. to I Is. 3d. per cwt., since which, about 2,100 bar rels of fair quality have been sold at 10s. 6d. and .510 bar rels very inferior at Bs. 6d. per cwt. ; on Monday 1,011 barrels new, now landing, will be offered by auction.

A further improvement has taken place in the demand for Rosin; the sales this week exceed 2,000 barrels, principal pa r t o f w hi c h h a , b een purchased for making es, for which discovery a patent has beenob. teined ; and as this new channel of consumption will great. ly relieve the distillers from a part of their stock, which often fore considerable time lies a dead weight on their heeds, it is probable this may have the effect of further advancing the price of the raw material : the price obtain ed for Rosin is 4s. 6d., but 4s. 9d. is now generally de mended.
